Posted December 19, 20204 yr This moc is inspired by an old typical Dutch mill called Kikkermolen (frogmill). Dated from 1747. Always when I passes the mill on my bike I thought, what a sweet tiny beautiful red mill. Let's recreate it with bricks :-).
December 19, 20204 yr A beautiful build, I love the cat mold used in the set. The diverse build is quite intricate
December 20, 20204 yr Maybe the white stud could be replaced with a red one, but otherwise very stunning build!

These mills were used to 'keep dry feet' in lower places, so they are essentially wind-powered waterpumps.
December 21, 20204 yr That's a beautiful MOC, @dutchmadebricks! I really like it how you added a very fitting and very nice landscape around the mill.
December 23, 20204 yr Author Thanks. I have to admit that it is not possible to turn the mill in a circle of 360 degrees (although technically it is possible). Because there is too much "landscape" such as water, fences and the vegetable garden it is not possible. In my lego world the landcape goes before practical issues
February 7, 20214 yr A re-creation to be proud of. It comes pretty close to the real world mill. And the landscaping is superb. I especially like how you managed the corner slopes of the mill's base. Are the blades turnable?
